10 Apps We Really Wish Existed

It seems like the world of apps is endless. And, yet, how many times have you found yourself screaming at Siri, maybe crying a little bit, frustrated that she can't help you with the many moral and physical quandaries of your life? We may not have our flying cars and jet packs, but this is the future, and we should at least be entitled to an app that can fix every single possible frustration.

So, consider this a call to action for all of the budding developers out there. These are the apps we want and need and deserve — but don't have. Please, make it happen. We're suffering.

Disclaimer: We haven't seen every single app on Earth. If you know about something similar to these, please tell us in the comments, we will be forever grateful!

How Hungover Will I Be?This app would use a breathalyzer, a motor skills analysis test, and speech recognition technology to determine how drunk you are. Or, you can also manually enter in what you've had to drink and eat. It will then tell you how many more you can have — or how warn you to STOP NOW! — in order to be functional by a given time the next day.

Fashion ArchivistDo you ever go out shopping, come back with new stuff, and realize you had something eerily similar already in your closet that you'd totally forgotten about? Well, no more of that super annoying First World problem. This app will catalog every item in your closet and keep track of how often you wear each thing. It will also calculate your ROI per item, so you can shop smarter in the future, not to mention get a better handle on your style.

The Ex-AvoiderIt's as simple as it sounds. This app would scour your ex's social media profiles and send an alert if the two of you ever check into the same place or sign up to attend the same event. That way, you can either get out fast or start working on an elaborate disguise.

Take Your Birth Control — Or ElseEven the most responsible adult women sometimes have a really, really hard time with this simple task. This app would basically make it impossible for you to forget your pill, though. We're thinking it locks your entire phone until you take the pill, then uses a specially-developed attachment to scan your belly and prove that it's actually in there.

Polish MatcherThis is another one that requires a fantasy attachment. Have a chipped nail? Simply scan your nail polish and your phone will then print out tiny bits of laser-cut adhesive paper that match your color and the shape of the chip in question. Manicure = saved.

Taxi Sharing AppIt's Tindr for Taxis. Slightly illegal. Highly useful. We would also suggest Back Rub Grindr, which helps you find a massage-exchange partner in your immediate area, no sexual strings attached.

Shazam — For Ya Face!If you're one of those people with an embarrassingly bad memory for faces, this is the app of your dreams. All you have to do is master the art of nonchalantly taking a covert photo of someone. Then, the app would compare the face with your Facebook friends and friends-of-friends to find a match (and maybe provide you with a few talking points, to boot).

The Anti WebMDWe've all been victims of WebMD-induced hypochondria. This app would help combat that by determining whether or not you are overreacting to something. Either it uses the probability of certain diseases for your age group and personal health profile or it just reads your mind and decides whether or not you're just being an idiot. Whatever works.

Color ScannerAs an office of people who are thoroughly obsessed with the monochrome trend, we often wonder if shades of black, brown, navy, dark green, and the like are actually matches for one another. The simple solution? Scan it with your phone and use this imaginary app to tell you what's working (and what's not).

Honestly, we haven't really thought of using tampons for anything besides their intended purpose — not since middle school pranks, at least. Researchers in the U.K., however, have learned that tampons are an excellent and cheap way to monitor water quality in rivers and streams. David Lerner, PhD, a professor at the read

Ever since
Facebook announced its plans for a Frank Gehry-designed
headquarters, we’ve been dying for a sneak peek. Well, the day
has finally arrived. Facebook employees have officially started moving into their palatial new Menlo Park digs (known as MPK 20). And, to celebrate, the company invited artists and Instagram read
